Thanks for the tips! I gave up a while ago, got a new camera fully supported and I did not had any problems since.
It was still a Logitec model, ( C200 if I am not wrong, I can't remember now and I am not in front of it now) I put the one with problems on a Windows PC where it is performing well. Hopefully others will benefit of your advice. Cheers!
